The # is just part of the databinding syntax. <%# ... databinding expression here ... %>

And how do you do the row selecting? Are you call the postback event, analogous to this one which is created by the DataGrid (for Select button)? It should be somethink like this: javascript:__doPostBack('DataGrid1$_ctl3$_ctl0','') -- Mariusz 'mAv' Wójcik master e-software engineer (BPC)

I don't think so. Basically the client side script shouldn't be able to save any information on the user's disk (or even access it). So the best way is to create the download page :) -- Mariusz 'mAv' Wójcik master e-software engineer (BPC)

Hi Ritwik, I'm having trouble getting a clear picture of what exactly you're doing, and looking to do. Could you provide some more information, such as how you are inserting the records into Excel? Are you using just ADO.NET to tap Excel as a datasource, or are you using OWC, the Excel COM automation objects, or a 3rd party component? Could you post a code snipit to help illustrate?   --Jesse

I have the same trouble, with _self target didn't work. This is because a ModelDialog can change de document.location, maybe you'll need change de window.showmodaldialog() to window.open(). ---- hxxbin

Hi Ritwik, I'm not sure why you would need an event handler for a literal, but in VB.NET, you would use: AddHandler literal1.DataBinding, AddressOf YourEventHandlerHere Marcie http://www.codeproject.com

There are a couple of ways to make this happen. The easiest way is to postback when the download button is clicked, set all but your datagrid to invisible, and change the content type (by setting Response.ContentType) to "application/vnd.ms-excel". If installed on the client machine, Excel will then open the HTML content and translate it. To be honest, I'm not sure what the behavior is when Excel is not present on the client machine. Below are a couple of quick Code Project articles that demonstrate this method. Creating a formatted MS-Excel sheet using ASP[^] Export to Excel[^] If that isn't adaquate for what you're looking to do, then you may wish to look into creating the Excel document on the server and redirecting to it. I'm by no means an expert in this area, so please take my advice with a grain of salt. Searching Code Project for "Excel" will yield several articles that offer a more informed and in-depth look at some of the below. There are various means to accomplish Excel document generation, such as using a 3rd party library, automating Excel, using an ODBC driver, or using Crystal Reports. In my opinion, you would be better off looking into a 3rd party solution, like XlsGen[^] then most of the others. Most of the others will require that all or part of Excel/MS Office be installed on the server :eek: in order to work. Hope that helps a bit. :) --Jesse

Cool! I've never used sql notifications...can you point me to a reference? Thanks, Bill

Actually I want to write an Auto Responder. I have searched the net and every where I have found that it requires an mailbox first. Please help me.

The Namespace System.Drawing isn't support, maybe you must look about SVG or Flash (SWF), the first it's a vector draw implementation that pretends to be standar in vector graphics, it's good. ---- hxxbin

you could use Internet Explorer WebControls library available on MS web-site. Note that it isn't supported by them. Regards, Serge (Logic Software)

Hello Paul, I have got a solution, I dont know if it is a full proof or not but it works for my application, what I have done is I have just removed the Inherits attribute from the usercontrol declaration with which it was giving the problem and it is working even without re-compiling it. Regards Ritwik

There are several articles here on CP you could look at: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/msgaddin.asp[^], about integrating MSN Messenger or http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/ConnectingToMSN.asp[^] which describes connecting directly to the MSN messengers communications protocol. Have a look at my latest article about Object Prevalence with Bamboo Prevalence.

A hyperlink doesn't have access to change any properties on the page being opened directly. If you want that page to always have a certain background color, just edit the second page to have the color you want. If you need to change the color depending on how it's opened, you could have a QueryString parameter, and pass that in. For instance, have your hyperlink refer to: page2.aspx?bgcolor=pink Hope that helps, Datagrid Girl

There are different ways to accomplish this. One is here with querystrings. put this code to your submit button event handler. private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Response.Redirect("Webform2.aspx?Name=" + this.txtName.Text + "&LastName=" + this.txtLastName.Text); } Put this code to second page page_load private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.txtBox1.Text = Request.QueryString["Name"]; this.txtBox2.Text = Request.QueryString["LastName"]; } This way you can get values. Querystring is shown in address bar of your browser therefore you should not use this way to send sensitive information. & is used to distinguish between variables. You can also reach QueryString variables using indexers. foreach( string s in Request.QueryString) { Response.Write(Request.QueryString[s]); Response.Write("///"); } OR for (int i =0;i < Request.QueryString.Count;i++) { Response.Write(Request.QueryString[i]); Response.Write("///"); } I remember reading in somewhere that browsers have some capacity for QueryString length. If you need to send a variable which contains & such as "Mark & Spencer", you have a problem. I have read Server.UrlEncode solves this problem. But below is my solution. private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { string p1 = this.txtName.Text.Replace("&","%26"); string p2 = this.txtLastName.Text.Replace("&","%26"); string sln = "WebForm2.aspx?" + "Name=" + p1 + "&LastName=" + p2; Response.Redirect(sln); } Same solution is in Microsoft .Net Quick Start tutorials. ASP.NET--- Working with Web Controls --- Performing Page Navigation (Scenario 1) Performing Page Navigation (Scenario 2) See them also if you want to see more example for this technique. Second solution would be usage of SessionState. Education is no substitute for intelligence. That elusive quality is defined only in part by puzzle-solving ability.
